EarlyReturns on AirTran
No, you can't use miles to upgrade from a coach ticket on AirTran. But you can use EarlyReturns miles for a Business Class ticket. I just burned 40k from Frontier flying MCO-SEA the other weekend in Business Class. Booking it was a piece of cake!

Also, I like how the CEO deflects the bad news down to a VP.
I am 5k away from a Summit requal or 11 segments from UA 2p with not much travel expected for the rest of this and next year. I am thinking I should requalify for Summit to avoid these fees but rewarding this change with more flights doesn't feel right.

Apparently there was a problem with my Blackberry. My apologies for the confusion. Regarding the deflection to the VP, Menke had just sent the cryptic email the week before (discussed elsewhere in the forum).

I am not surprised. Most airlines are doing this now however I agree that this airline never seems to have any availability when trying to use your miles. I might just dump my miles!!!!

You know, FlyerTalk is a good resource. I'd use it in the future.
